hi i have noticed as last few days that jamies eyes r different sizes, the left one never seems to open proberly and the right one normal. Does anyone have any ideas on this could it be related to the hydro?

I would definitely get that checked out, especially if his eye is "sunsetting" or kind of looks like he's looking down.

when my son had a shunt malfunction one eye started going "cross eyed" , but it was actually what the drs call sunsetting from were the liquid was pushing down. He was showing many symptoms though, throwing up fuzzy not eating, so if he is acting different definitely call the drs.

he not showing any other syptoms. Hes not cross eyed and i don't think it sunsetting it just like the left eye can't open as wide. To get it checked out who should i take him to Gp- he not great, neuro I have a appointment augest 24th can't get anything sooner. they only other thing is to take him to a&e??

I would try an ophthamogist / eye doctor. I am not sure how significant the difference in his eyes is, but I think some asymetry is typical in everyone's faces (I actually notice the same thing with my own eyes at times and it is not an issue for me). I also know many people without SB and Hydro who have differences in how wide their eyes open. However, if you are concerned, definitely take him to have it checked out.

Good Luck! :)
